Summary:

"Self-Esteem: Paradoxes and Innovations in Clinical Theory and Practice," [provides] a unified framework for diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorders in which low self-esteem is the common denominator. The authors' therapeutic approach identifies habitual patterns of avoidance and replaces them with gradually developed coping skills. /// R. Bednar and S. Peterson review the theoretical and research foundations for their theories on self-esteem and provide a thorough, detailed explanation of their treatment model, including guidance for use in clinical settings. The model's application to parenting and marital and family relations is discussed in detail. Finally, they offer solutions to specific problems encountered by clinicians working with the treatment model. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
